HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER OF GENERATIONS CHURCH?

It’s important to make a distinction between belonging to a local church and belonging to God as part of His church (all those who trust in Christ). The Bible makes it clear that when we personally put our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior (God’s Son who died to pay for our sin and who rose again from the dead), we become children of God. In this way, every child of God is a member of the church. When we think about membership at Generations, we prefer to use the phrases like “partners in mission” or even “missionaries to Brunswick County”. If you are currently a part of any group at Generations and Christ is your Savior, we consider you to be a partner with us in our mission to reach Brunswick County.
